Yunnan Sourcing 2015 Ye Zhu Tang
Today I enjoyed a pleasant 9-year-old sheng pu'er from Yunnan Sourcing. I am beginning to find that 8 or 9 years is when a pu'er starts to become really good. I certainly don't mind young pu'ers. The bitterness can be enjoyable, but the older aged teas start gaining a sense of smooth sweetness that is even more enjoyable.
This tea is smooth, giving a nice lingering sweetness. It is strongly astringent, but not unpleasantly so. The scent is floral, but the tea gives a more fruity flavour than the scent would suggest.
Rating: 8/10
